Qatar National Library Brings Interactive Experiences To Doha International Book Fair

Doha, Qatar: Qatar National Library (QNL) will participate in the 2025 Doha International Book Fair, offering a range of interactive activities designed to inspire and engage visitors of all ages.

This year, QNL's exhibit will blend technology with cultural engagement. Leading the lineup is an AI-powered book recommendation tool, which will offer attendees personalized suggestions based on their reading preferences. Visitors can receive a curated reading list directly to their email, providing a seamless way to explore QNL's extensive collection.

A 360-degree touchscreen virtual tour will provide guests with an immersive look into the Library's interior, services, and spaces.

QNL is inviting the public to shape its agenda through a digital poll. Attendees can vote for a book to be featured in an upcoming Library event and submit their own recommendations via the interactive platform.

A simplified version for children will feature Ramly, the mascot of the Children's Library, with messages curated by the Children's Library team.

Ramly will make special appearances daily, engaging with school groups and families to add excitement and energy to the booth.
